Richard Chew is joined for an in-studio town hall by 2026 candidates for U.S. House in Illinois Donna Miller (2nd District), Patty García (4th District), and La Shawn Ford (7th District). Here are a few key points from the conversation:

 - All three candidates emphasized maximizing turnout during the final 30 days of the campaign, encouraging early voting, mail-in voting, and voter-to-voter mobilization.
- Their stated priorities included affordability, health care access, economic accountability, immigration reform, senior benefits, and protecting democratic institutions.
- Garcia identified Judiciary and Transportation and Infrastructure as her two preferred committees, with emphasis on immigration accountability and transportation investment.
- Miller highlighted health care, preventative care, maternal health, workforce development, and potential service on Energy and Commerce.
- Ford emphasized Medicare for all, restoring business health care tax credits, taxing the ultra-rich, and seeking placement on Ways and Means or Energy and Commerce.
- All three supported bipartisanship when it produces effective legislation, while maintaining progressive priorities and opposing harmful compromises.
